"tremendous understanding after mastectomy"

I required mastectomy following a recurrence of DCIS. I received tremendous empathy and understanding during a very emotional time when important decisions had to be made.

I was helped to make the correct decision for me at the time and would like to extend my thanks to my surgeon Ms Winter and all her team – breast care nurse, anaesthetist and nursing staff – who looked after me.

All my questions were answered. I felt that people cared. The facilities were marvellous.
